Hauled before the Interstate Commerce Com
mission for putting negroes in Jim crow ears,
the Georgia railroad responds that these coaches
are not, in fact, Jim crow cars, but are So
called by evil disposed persons without its CON
sent, and to its detriment and injury. Against
these evil disposed persons it therefore prays
relief from the combustion IF its large powers
extend to such a case" This response leaves
no doubt that the Georgia railroad has lawyers
who see the humorous side of attempting to en-
force the exploded civil rights bill as matter
OF interstate commerce.

The South i'm the Union Army.

According to Felix A. Reeve, cor
respondent of the November North
american RevieW, the southern and
border slave states furnished over $780,
600 white volunteer soldiers for the
union army. in the war of the rebellion,
and nearly 100000 colored troops for
the same service.
Turning first to Delaware. among
the old slave states, we learn with
amazement that she furnished larger
number of soldiers for the union army,
in proportion to military population,
than any other state of the national
union! in 1860 this heroic little state
had only about $4,000 white males be-
tween the ages of Is and As, yet she
sent 1850 men into the union army,
or rs per cent of her available strength.
New Hampshire contributed 81 per
cent; Vermont and Massachusetts, SO
each; Maine, 50; Rhode Island, &c;
Illinois and Ohio, SO; Kansas. ~. and
Indiana. "a. The other border states
did almost rs creditably. Maryland
furnished the union cause 40 per cent;
Kentucky, Al; Missouri. AZ; West Vir-
ginia, 4S, and Tennessee. one of the
oCCCuCO fotuICS, ulSlcu W tIC uUlOu
cause over 80, 900 white soldiers.
Mr.. Reeve thinks that without the
conservative union clement of the
southern and border slave states the
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the federal union
would have been inevitable; and had it
not been for the conservative stand
taken by the union democrats of east
Tennessee and other portions of the
south ut the close of the war the condi-
ton of the ex-confederates would have
been miserable beyond measure. Dis
franchised, their property taken. and
they themselves pursued as political
outlaws and traitors, thousands of those
who had but lately been arraycd
against them III deadly conflict, stood
like breakwater between them and
utter and unutterable ruin, and this.
too, without any hope or expectation of
reward from any source. Thus it will
be seen that these loyal friends of the
national government were as generous
in peace rs they had been brave in
battle. The country, therefore, owes
much to the union sentiment ut the
south, and ex-confederates are under
an infinite obligation to the brave and
unselfish unionists who, unable to in
dorsc tho proscriptivc policy of the
dominant majority, met their "cnomy
in the gates, and, placing themselves in
Il hopeless minority, advocated their
civil and political rights mt time when
they were deprived of both"
